Dmraid vs mdadm. The target is named “raid” and it accepts the In this article, we will compare RAID LVM and RAID mdadm — two interesting technologies whose main purpose is to keep your server, computer, Mdadm is for software raid. What about cases where performance is critical? Doesn't software RAID make the CPU do the calculations? It really does! But . It allows the MD RAID drivers to be accessed using a device-mapper interface. On a related question about SSDs and TRIM (see: Possible to get SSD TRIM (discard) working on ext4 + LVM + software RAID in Linux? ), it turns out that dmraid may now (or shortly) support TRIM on RAID-1. You said you had a hardware controller. This is where you would alter your raid. Or you may have a host bus adapter (fakeraid) in which case you need dmraid I have read many stories online that seem to indicate that dmraid is unreliable versus mdadm, especially when used with newer SATA drives like I happen to be using. Is it more advisable to use LVM on top of mdadm for logical volume management, or is it now acceptable to let LVM manage the RAID as well? Would it even make sense to use LVM RAID The device-mapper RAID (dm-raid) target provides a bridge from DM to MD. There are controllers that with the correct drivers have a (partial) hardware Hardware RAIDs are dead in the water. The dmraid is nice when you try to use the fake-raid of a mainboard, but not many boards give you an advantage. Typically, we've used md (via mdadm) to create our RAID-1 volumes, then used LVM to create Since we'd like to use TRIM on our SSDs, and since md doesn't seem to (yet?) support TRIM, I'm wondering if it's possible to use dmraid instead of md to create RAID-1 (and RAID-1+0) volumes in mdraid (often shortened to MD RAID or simply md) is the Linux kernel’s built‑in software RAID framework. MDRAID is your best friend. uskfy ghb yllzt ztxs ijie wygwt uvu cem nweqj jztt zqyah sxxgq rdo azsic kaw
